SIR – As reported in the Worcester News (August 17) we had a serious motorcycle accident in Droitwich. We would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the following, who helped both with the immediate consequences and with our ongoing recovery from our injuries: Worcestershire Royal Hospital and ambulance crew; Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, trauma and orthopaedic teams; the Midlands Air Ambulance; Worcester Wheels; Claire Fry (Worcester News Community First Responder) and an unnamed paramedic – please come forward – who was first on the scene.

Also, all of our friends and neighbours, whose support has been hugely appreciated and will never be forgotten.

Martyn and Carolyn Evans, Stoke Prior
